In my quest to watch every Jim Jarmusch movie at least once, I finally got to see this one. And this didn't disappoint either. The whole premise of a Don Juan type character, named Don Johnston - played by Bill Murray - on an adventure to find of which of is ex-girlfriends send him a mysterious letter, telling him about a now 19-year old son he didn't know about. His neighbour - who, with a wife, 5 kids, and 3 jobs, is the exact opposite of the Don - excitingly planned the whole trip for him and gives him advise throughout the quest. All those characters and situations are hilarious. And it was fun to notice all those parallels to Jarmusch's other movies - particularly Ghost Dog.
A rape revenge story set in 70s/80s NY. Sounded good, looked great, interesting characters and plot. Good one!
A classic I’ve not seen before. I wouldn’t say one has to know this, but it definitely doesn’t hurt. And I was very much enjoying myself, especially with those "Mondo Bizzarr"-audience at the cinema. The plot is more like a series of scetches and the dialogue is rather peculiar at times, but honestly, everything is so silly and over the top, it’s funny again. And all the sets and props are lovingly done. “Sieg der Liebe!”

I’ve been watching the Hamas hostage releases. Whatever you think of the current situation, there are a lot of questions I have about this. Why doesn’t it bother more people that Hamas calls this a victory? That they are dressing people up in outfits meant to look like IDF uniforms so they can claim people they pulled from their beds were soldiers? Where are they getting these uniforms? Where are they printing these backdrops or did they already have them?
Ok, I took one digital photo at our Landschaftspark outing.
Enjoyed this once more. All the characters are great and so well acted. (And good job in casting both Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder, two actresses I occasionally confuse anyway.) It has just the right amount of supernatural elements. And I was reminded how much I like the music from Swan Lake.
Last saturday, I spent a lovely day photographing at Landschaftspark Duisburg with Florian. I can’t share my film photos so quickly, but he can share his - and did. Check it out:
Saw many folks answering these questions, so I thought, why not answer them too! If you have a site, please do also if so inclined. (Kudos to Annie Mueller's post for pushing me over the edge.)
